A. Terrific Fight.

Springfield, May 12.-Yesterday about
A o'clock q terrific fight took place between
Officer Hodge and exPolicemsn. Pat Lid
dy. There has been deep seated hatred
between the rwo men for several weeks
past, resulting from campaign stories,
when Liddy was the Labor party's candi-
date for marsh Il. The two men met dur
ing the campaign and fired q number of
hot words at each other. The feud kept
growing nnd interested parties kept adding
their mite to increase the trouble. Last
evening they met near the corner of
Boonville and Commercial. A few red hot
words were exchanged when Hodge drew
has pistol and struck Liddy in the head in
Hicting an ugly wound from which the
blood flowed with great energy aed pro-
fusion Men at that juncture interferred
and pre7enied further trouble. 1t is feared
by .ne friends OF both gentlemes that. the
trouble is only in il, hrst stages. Both
men are totally void of fear, and with the
accun ulated hatred on esch side combined
with the terrific fight on lsst evening, the
public may anticipate q des .ly encounter
at any moment.

Taking The Nonsense Out of Her.

East Saginaw, Mich, May 12.-Mrs.
Sarah Davis, of Leis Corners, this county,
was recently divorced from her husband on
account Of trouble in which her name was
connected with DR.. Andrew Emery. The
latter has wife and six adult children,
and he after the Davis family scandal
went to Kansas. Last Saturday night, it
being reported that Mrs. Davis was max
ing preparations to follow the doctor, q
crowd of forty men surrounded her
house, broke in the doors and
attempted to take out Mrs. Davis
and her mother who lived with her. The
two women fought desperately, however,
and Mrs. Davis shot at the party. The
project was temporarily abandoned. The
mel broke open the woman's trunk, how
over, and found letters from DR.. Emery in
viting her to come to him, and telling her
what route to take. These letters were cir
culated through the village, and the people
were aroused to high pitch Of indignation.
On Sunday night, when Mrs. Davis was
calling at a neighbor's, party of men took
her out stripped her to the waist, and APP
piled a coat of tar and feathers. She
fought with the desperation of despair, and
in the struggle most of her clothing which
had not been renewed by
the men for the purpose of tarring her was
torn of. Her shrieks were heard for
mile, and she ceased yelling only when
the mob threatened to fill her mouth with
the same substance they were applying to
her body. After watching and gliding her
for while, they left her to find her way
home.
This morning Mrs Davis had recover
ed sufficiently to leave the Corners. As
she and her mother boarded a train on
the Saginaw Valley and st. Louis Rail-
road gang of men, who were waiting the |
appearance of the women at the station, |
egged them until they were q shocking
sight. They left, however, on the train.

A Husbands Testimony.

My wife was troubled for years with
blotches, moth patches and pimples on her
face, which nearly annoyed the life out of
her. She spent many dollars on the thou
sand infalible u? cures, with nothing but
injurious effects. A lady friend of SYRIA
cuse. N. Y, who had had similar expert

induced her to try it. One bottle has
made her face as smooth, fair and soft as

seems almost q miracle. --.

GENTs-Who ever you are, I don't know,
but thank the Lord and feel grestful to
you to know that IN this world of adult
terated medicines there is one compound
that proves and does all it advertises to do,
and more. Four years ago, / had slight
shock OF palsy, which unnerved me to such
an extent that the least excitement would
make me shake like the ague. Last May
l was induced to try Hop Bitters. I used
one bottle, but did not see any change; an
other did so change my nerves that they
are now as steady as they ever were. Il
used to take both hands to write, but now
my good right hand writes this. Now If
you continue to manufacture as honest and
good an article as you do, you will accumu-
late an honest fortune and confer the great
est blessing upon your fellow-man that was
ever conferred on mankind.

How Thorough Stirring Of the Soil Affects

How Thorough Stirring Of the Soil Affects

After seed has come up. the frequent
stirring Of the soil will prove beneficial.
1t is not generally necessary to caution
any one against stirring the soil toe
frequently, still this may, not impos-
sibly. be sometimes overdone. At least
as regarded from . financial point Of
view. Following rain, and after the

not profitable to stir the soil when il IL
too wet. or to hoe crops when they are
dripping with water. As some people
do; even cabbagcs. celery and furnips
are not benefited. IL indeed they escape
serious injury. under such treatment.
In cuitivating crops Of any dcscrip-
ton. it Is necessary to bear in mind
that. when they are young and grow
ing rapidly, it will be proper to
cultivate deeper and nearer to the
plants than at later stage, when
growth is not 50 rapid. AT the later
stage such active cultivation would
have tendency to ripen on the crop,
rather than promote its growth.
During dry season. or period Of
extended drought. the more frequently
the soil ID stirred around growing
crop the better. as the loosening up Of
the surface soil will draw the moisture
from below upwards. within reach Of
the feeding roots Of the plants and
thus enable them to absorb il.
In the case Of any crop planted il
rows. il is good plan TO stir the soil
and cut down the weeds. Immediately
after the plants come up. in the follow
ing manner: Take an ordinary har-
row and remove the front tooth; then
drive along each row Of plants, keep
ing II exactly between the horses and
central to the harrow. This harrow
ing will not disturb them In the least,
and just at this stage will promote
